The Stopgap Windows Release
TLDR: Was released, made fun of then installed XP
Yep lol. Me was very much so a stop gap release. XP was already in development, trying to merge the NT core from Win2k with the home user updates that shipped with Me. Me was only around for about a year before XP launched.
My only experience with WinMe was when I had to erase it off a fresh new laptop and put Win98 in its place so the thing would run right.
Haha, nice. It's a bummer Me was so poorly supported. On the right hardware I heard it was decent, but kinda like the new driver model launched with Vista, a lot of OEMs didn't properly spec their stuff or supply correct drivers.
A handful of Me users bought good, supported hardware and had a nice time in the OS, but I was not one of them.
